...From Merriam-Webster the origin of TRUMP is the word TRIUMPH.

Excellent find, my FRiend!

And what a fantastic name to have in business or politics.   Best part: the man's victories live up to his name!   Let the trumpets blare!

I was listening to an old time radio broadcast on an internet radio station of Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was playing cards and said he had the trump card. Then he went on to say the origin of Trump is Triumph. Just to be sure I looked it up. Sure enough it was true.
